pyLoad is a fast, lightweight and full featured download manager for many One-Click-Hoster, container formats like DLC, video sites or just plain http/ftp links (supported hosts). It aims for low hardware requirements and platform independence to be runnable on all kind of systems (desktop pc, netbook, NAS, router). Despite its strict restriction it is packed full of features just like webinterface, captcha recognition, unrar and much more.

pyLoad is divided into core and clients, to make it easily remote accessible. Currently there are (screenshots):

For ClickNLoad and at least ZippyShare (maybe other hosters too) support: js.

Configuration

Run Setup Assistant:

# pyLoadCore -s

Note: This command must be run as the same user that will run pyload. For example if you run pyload as a daemon using the systemd service, either run this command as user pyload or change /etc/systemd/system/pyload.service to another user. If you choose to run this command as user pyload you will have to edit /etc/passwd to modify pyload's shell from /bin/false to /bin/bash.

The Setup Assistant gives you a jump start, by providing a basic but working setup. Being a basic setup, there are more options and you should at least look at them, since some sections are untouched by the Assistant, like the permissions section.

Tip: Most (if not all) of the options can be changed with pyLoadGui or with the the web interface.

Optional

However, if you prefer to edit the pyload.conf yourself and you went with the default conf directory, you can change the settings by editing ~/.pyload/pyload.conf. Use your favorite editor to edit, eg.:

# nano ~/.pyload/pyload.conf

You can get aquainted with most of the configuration options on that page. Do note that it is outdated, in a sense, since the /opt/pyload/module/config/ files it refers to do not match what's still on that page.

While also editable with the web interface, you can change the plugins configuration by editing ~/.pyload/plugins.conf.

Extraction passwords are stored in ~/.pyload/unrar_passwords.txt. To add passwords either edit the file or:
